Re: Let the Right One In canceled at Showtime

The show failed to engage people, otherwise the forum would have increase it activities and the interest in LTROI would be revived.. ANYONE who sees the movie or read the book for the first time is almost instantly "infected" like us, the show didn't do that obviously, and they had extra hours (epis...

Re: Let the Right One In - E01 (Review - Potential Spoilers)

Ill quote my comment on another thread, but yeah I din't like it. The attempt to make the book a "serial" instead of miniseries is probably the key factor why this failled to me, as they had to change many things and add other, all of them for worst (to me). I saw the first episode and totally hated...

Re: I’m enjoying the show so far

In my view, unfortunately (for me) it is LTROI in name only. I saw the first episode and totally hated it :think: They basically killed every signature in the original story. The intimate-small atmosphere (Blackeberg, Eli+Oscar and a group of neighbors and nothing else) Eli-Hakhan's dark mutual para...

Re: Teaser for the Showtime series

The police (Staffan) suppose to be incompetent or impotent in the story (even in the Reeves version he's alone in the investigation and there just to be eaten by Abby, he's Lacke after all), here the cop seems to be some main self-serious character, which I guess make this some "procedural" stuff ye...

Re: Teaser for the Showtime series

Just saw this on "Bloody Disgunsting" lol
As expected, they once again passed adapting the book and we're having a crappier version of LMI.
Personally, I might watch this on some streaming service, with the fast forward button.

Re: Let The Right One In is being remade into a Korean TV series

I'm not sure if this is good or bad. Korean cinema is bold, but I'm pretty sure their TV is full of atrociuos high school "idol" dramas/romances. Same for Japan and East Asia in general. If this is the second case, I am afraid we will have a Korean twilight. A 20-something kpop idol will playan angs...

Re: Let the Right One In officially ordered as a series on Showtime

This time "Eli" is recently converted vampire, apparently, so they can "cure" her for another season, which I hope never exists. My main complaint anyway is the title, why was the name kept? It should be Let me in, now "Let in the right one" will be associated with whatever comes out of this. In fac...

Re: LTROI TV Series

Already commented in the thread of the television series. It's yet another very watered-down, non-horror (apart from the bloodsucking thing) adaptation . To follow that path, I would prefer a Swedish television series, with more emphasis on those things that did not make it to the film. By the way, ...

Re: Let the Right One In officially ordered as a series on Showtime

It will be a "drama" and non-horror adaptation , but without Alfredson's artistic nuances. ffs my dreams of seeing a Hellraiser-style adaptation have been lost. They already changed Hakan and added some shitty characters, like a cop (certainly not Staffan) I'm sure no Vampire Lord, no Eli complicate...

Re: New TV adaptation ordered by Showtime

Now that Oskar is a black kid (apparently) I guess they gonna throw some political/racial lecture, very common in today american show biss. (Maybe the bullies will taunt him with racist slurs or something). Also, they described the series as ""elevated"" (which is a label used for the trend of artsy...
